Miss Holland 1957

Corine Rotschafer

Corine was just 17 when he won the Miss Holland pageant in 1957. Just a few weeks later she was also crowned as the first Miss Europe from Holland. Because of the duty’s as Miss Europe she was unable to participate at the Miss Universe pageant in 1957. In 1958 she participated in the Miss Universe pageant instead. Funny detail in both Miss Universe program books in 1957 and 1958 she is pictured as miss Holland. As far as we know she is the only girl ever to be shown in two books. In 1959 she was asked to represent the Netherlands at the Miss World pageant as Miss Holland 1959, Peggy Erwich, was unable to go to Miss Word pageant because she was busy modeling. Lucky for Corine, she was crowned as the first Miss World from the Netherlands.
Corine was crowned by Ans van Pothoven, who had the honor to be Miss Holland 1956 for a few months as Miss Holland 1956, Rita Schmidt got married in january 1956.
